Lucy by the Sea
In March 2020 Lucy's ex-husband William pleads with her to leave New York and escape to a coastal house he has rented in Maine. Lucy reluctantly agrees, leaving the washing-up in the sink, expecting to be back in a week or two. Weeks turn into months, and it's just Lucy, William, and their complex past together in a little house nestled against the sea.
Rich with empathy and a searing clarity, Lucy by the Sea evokes the fragility and uncertainty of the recent past, as well as the possibilities that those long, quiet days can inspire. At the heart of this miraculous novel are the deep human connections that sustain us, even as the world seems to be falling apart.

OWC South Sea Tales
The literary world was shocked when in 1889, at the height of his career, Robert Louis Stevenson announced his intention to settle permanently on the Pacific island of Samoa. His readers were equally shocked when he began to use the subject material
offered by his new environment, not to promote a romance of empire, but to produce some of the most ironic and critical treatments of imperialism in nineteenth-century fiction. In these stories, as in his work generally, Stevenson shows himself to be
a virtuoso of narrative styles: his Pacific fiction includes the domestic realism of `The Beach at Falesé, the folktale plots of `The Bottle Imp' and `The Isle of Voices', and the modernist blending of naturalism and symbolism in The Ebb-Tide. But b
eyond their generic diversity the stories are linked by their concern with representing the multiracial society of which their author had become a member. In this collection - the first to bring together all his shorter Pacific fiction in one volume
- Stevenson emerges as a witness both to the cross- cultural encounters of nineteenth-century imperialism and to the creation of the global culture which characterizes the post-colonial world.

Out to Sea
Out to Sea follows the journey of a young girl named Lara who is so sad after the death of her grandmother that she is carried out to sea on a flood of her own tears. When it seems like sadness has overwhelmed her entirely, she discovers a pearl at the bottom of the ocean that triggers memories of the many happy times Lara shared with her grandmother. With the pearl safely at her side, Lara realises that she is not alone and finds the strength to pick up her oars and row herself back home.
Illustrated in Helen Kellock's inimitable style of pencil, gouache and watercolour artworks, Out to Sea expresses the experience of anxiety and grief with unprecedented sensitivity. Unlike other books for children about loss or grief that usher their readers towards a conclusion, Out to Sea shows readers how they might ride the wave of emotions without losing perspective.

Batikovacia farba Kreul Javana Sound of the Sea 70 g
S KREUL Batik Textile Dye môžu kreatívci maľovať svoj textil technikou shibori, namáčať alebo len osviežiť farby. Bežný textil sa stáva jedinečným a staré veci možno recyklovať vo výrazných farbách. Či už ide o obliečky na vankúše, obrusy, textilné tašky, tričká a šály alebo posteľnú bielizeň, v správnej farebnej kombinácii batikované látky skutočne upútajú pozornosť. Rozlišujeme rôzne techniky farbenia látok. Shibori: vzory vznikajú viazaním, skladaním a uzlami. Môžete použiť gumičky, sťahovacie pásky alebo balíkové šnúry. Vosková batika: tekutý vosk sa nanáša na bielu látku. Látka sa natrie. Po zaschnutí sa vosk zažehlí a zviditeľnia sa biele vzory. Ponorné farbivo: látka sa ponorí do farby a nejaký čas tam odpočíva, farba sa vsiakne a výsledkom je nádherný nerovný okraj. Techniky batikovania nielen dobre vyzerajú, ale sú aj zábavné: najprv farbenie a miešanie v hrnci a na záver prekvapenie, aký vzor vznikol.• Farbíte látky od 50 °C do 95 °C – horúcou vodou vo vedre resp. v hrnci na sporáku • Ak použijete celú 70 g fľašu farbiva: Silný, intenzívny odtieň pre 200 g látku; stredná hĺbka odtieňa na 400 g látky • Na farbenie a batikovanie hodvábu, bavlny, viskózy, ľanu, poloľanu, vlny a polyamidu • Farbiaci prášok, ktorý obsahuje farbivovú soľ, sa dodáva v praktickej uzatvárateľnej fľaštičke pre jednoduché dávkovanie, miešanie a skladovanie • Minimálna teplota na farbenie je 50 °C – ideálne na batikovanie voskom a techniky farbenia kravaty so striekačkami alebo sprejmi • Farbené textílie nie sú odolné voči varu: Farbu zafixujte fixačným prostriedkom KREUL na batikované textilné farby (č. 98553) na zlepšenie stálofarebnosti a stálosti pri praní. Farbenú látku perte oddelene pri maximálne 40 °C
